Evolution is a female doggie when the downside is a rather quick death.

I once was paid real money to airbrush crickets a green color for a photo shoot. The photographer got dead ones from a university (they were brown). I glued their bodies (underneath) to poster board to hold them in place but when I sprayed them, the legs squirmed just like they were alive.

Who needs to worry about crickets and frogs?
...or snakes?
The sunsets make Hawaii "unforgettable"...

What's most relevant here is that neither the crickets nor their fly parasite attacker is indigenous to Hawaii AND that two different populations of crickets from the same species have evolved two different mutations on the same gene that produced similar results (deformed wings too small to chirp, thus saving the males from being maggot hosts.)
